三、阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A. B. C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该的标号项涂黑。
A
Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother of Britain, died on March 30, 2002, just a little over four months short of her 102nd birthday.
Lady Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon was born in 1900, when Queen Victoria was still living. Her family was from the Scottish aristocracy(贵族). In 1923 Elizabeth married Berite (Albert), the shy and awkward son of George V. At first, she had turned him down, unsure whether she wanted to marry into the duties of the Royal Family.
Her first daughter, born in 1926, was also named Elizabeth. A second daughter, Margaret, was born four years later.
In 1936, George V died, and his eldest son became King Edward VIII. However, Edward gave up the throne soon afterwards. Brtie ascended the throne(登基) as George VI, and was crowned with Elizabeth at his side the following year.
During World War II, which lasted from 1939 to 1945, the Queen refused to leave England. She, the King, and the young princesses stayed in London to share the danger with other Londoners, instead of spending the war years safely in Canada. This earned her respect and admiration.
George VI died of lung cancer in 1952, and their first daughter ascended the throne as Elizabeth II. The senior Elizabeth took the title Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. Later she said she was happy to be known simply as “the Queen Mum”.
Her favorite grandson, Prince Charles, called her “the most wonderful example of fun”. She enjoyed gin as well as champagne, planned official engagements around the house-racing calendar and expressed an ambition to become Britain’s oldest woman.
56. How old was “Queen Mum” when she died?
A. 101. B. 102. C. 103 D..104
57. Who was the oldest one of the four?
A. Edward VIII. B. Queen Elizabeth II.
C. Queen Victoria. D. Queen Mum.
58. How old is Queen Mum’s second daughter now?
A. 70. B.76. C. 80. D. 86
59. Which of the following is true?
A. Queen Elizabeth II has been dead for quite a long time.
B. “Queen Mum” set a living record in England.
C. “Queen Mum” was a woman with great courage in face of danger.
D. “Queen Mum” became the Queen after her husband died.
60. Which is the correct order of the following?
a. Albert’s senior daughter ascended the throne as Elizabeth II.
b. Albert became the King of Britain after King Edward VIII.
c. Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon gave birth to her first daughter in 1926.
d. Queen Mum and her family stayed in London to share the danger with other Londoners.
e. Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon married Albert.

Imagine learning algebra(几何) not in a year, but in a week. How about developing complex computer programs used by millions of people worldwide—at age 14, or becoming a grandmaster of chess, knocking out the best minds in the world, even though you aren’t old enough to drive a car yet? These are just a few real examples of teenage(十几岁）geniuses. While it might sound cool to be a Harvard University student at the age of 13, there are definite(确定的) down sides to having a mind that’s way ahead of your body. It’s hard to have friends your own age when you are working in a research lab while other kids your age are in Middle School. And with so much responsibility, it’s difficult to enjoy a “normal” youth of fun and games.
But what makes a genius? Are some people just born that way? In his book, Genius Explained, Michael Howe looks at children geniuses like Mozart and Einstein for clues. His conclusion: “Genius” is defined(界定) by achievement, not by some special secret skills. That means that although geniuses do have great natural skills, it’s what they do with it that matters most. Many geniuses are failures at school, such as the great Indian mathematician Ramanujan, who was unable to pass his school examinations in India, only later to be accepted at Cambridge University in England and solve some of the world’s great math problems.
61. How can one be a genius?
A. One can only be born as a genius. B. One may not be good at school.
C. One can never expect to be a genius. D. Genius or not just depends.
62. What’s the trouble the young geniuses face?
A. They are too young to be their partners’ friends.
B. They will not be normal.
C. They have to solve too many academic problems.
D. They have to work everything out by themselves.
63. Which of the following is UNTRUE?
A. Ramanujan did not stand out in his homeland at all.
B. Mozart and Einstein shared a lot in genius.
C. Michael Howe has studied a lot of geniuses.
D. Some geniuses have achieved a lot, while others, not.

English as a world language is now becoming more and more popular than ever before and people all over the world are now directly or indirectly concerned about it, especially the English testing systems and the recent reformation of them.
For American students, tests like the SAT, ACT and Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) mark the path to college and graduate school. But for hundreds of thousands of international students hoping to study in the United States, a major concern is proving their language skills on the Test of English as a Foreign Language, or TOEFL.
Since 1963 the TOEFL has been used by scholarship selection committee of governments, universities, and agencies such as Fulbright, the Agency for International Development, AMIDEST, Latin American Scholarship Program, and others as a standard measure of the English proficiency.
Now, as TOEFL has undergone major changes, some students, particularly Asians, are worried that they will be disadvantaged because schools generally emphasize vocabulary and grammar over speaking.
In recent years, many of the 5,200 English-speaking colleges and universities that use the exam have become concerned that the test fails to identify those students who have mastered only “textbook” English. So after a decade’s research, the Educational Testing Service, which developed the exam, has shifted the test’s focus to how well students read, write and speak in combination. Students may be asked to listen to a recording and read a passage, then speak about both. Their responses will be digitally recorded and downloaded for grading.
Perhaps the biggest change is the new speaking component. Previously, the testing company offered a separate speaking test, but few students took it. The new English test is Internet-based.
68. What is TOEFL used for all over the world?
A. It is used as a measure to test people’s language ability.
B. It is used to test the taker’s English ability to study in some English speaking countries. .
C. It is widely used by the governments and agencies to develop themselves.
D. It is taken as the only way to enter USA colleges and universities.
69. What is the greatest change in TOEFL in recent years?
A. The Internet and computers have come into the testing systems.
B. “Textbook” English is untested by TOEFL now.
C. Speaking is now a designed part of the test.
D. Asian students have been disadvantaged.
70. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Students in the USA have to take part in the TOEFL testing.
B. Students in the USA have some choices to prove their language ability.
C. Employees in the governments have to take part in some of the English tests.
D. Students can always get scholarship after taking part in the tests.
71. What is the meaning of the underlined word “component”?
A. company B. ability C. section D. contest
E
Ever heard the one about the doctor who gave his patient six months to live? When the man couldn’t pay his bill, the doctor gave him another six months.
Go ahead, laugh. It’s strong medicine researchers are learning. Even the physical act is good for you, says William Fry, professor at Stanford University and pioneer in laughter research. It increases blood flow and benefits the muscles, according to Fry.
But the benefits go beyond these. The most astonishing evidence of laughter’s power comes from a 1997 study of 48 heart-attack patients. Half watched comedic shows for 30 minutes every day; the rest served as controls. After a year, ten patients in the control group had suffered repeat heart attacks, compared with only two in the group that watched the shows.
“Laughter is a powerful antidote (矫正) to stress,” says expert Lee Berk. In earlier research, Berk showed that watching a humorous video decreases levels of two key stress hormones(荷尔蒙) that can cause irregular heart rhythms which may lead to heart attacks. Indeed, heart disease patients are often given drugs called beta-blockers specifically to block these hormones. “Laughter can do exactly the same thing,” says Berk. “And it can be a lot more fun.”
Can a good laugh help patients get well? In an experiment at the University of California, called Rx Laughter, scientists plan to test the effect of laughter in children with serious illnesses, including cancer. Early results suggest that humorous videos help kids deal with uncomfortable or painful things.
Justin Ybarra, 13, already knows that. He was in considerable pain when he woke up from his operation—until Bill Marx, son of Harpo Marx and volunteer for Rx Laughter, appeared at his bedside. Marx told jokes and made faces around the hospital room. “Having something to laugh at took my mind off the pain,” says Justin. “When you are laughing, you can’t help but feel better.”
72. Why did the doctor give the patient another six months to live?
A. Because the patient wanted to have the strong medicine.
B. Because the doctor might plan to carry out an experiment.
C. Because the doctor was kind enough to help the sufferers.
D. Because the doctor had no other choice.
73. How was the research of laughing carried out?
A. The doctors let half of the patients watch comedic plays, while the others, not.
B. The doctors suggested watching funny videos 30 minutes a day.
C. The joiners were treated differently with laughing.
D. Half the joiners were controlled not to laugh.
74. Which of the following is TRUE according to the above passage?
A. Heart attacks can always be cured of by laughing.
B. All kinds of hormones can reduce people’s pains.
C. Beta-blockers can cure heart attacks together with laughing.
D. Some hormones are due to the cause of heart attacks.
75. Which might serve as the best title of the passage?
A. Laugh or not Matters Little B. Healing Power of Laughing
C. No Laughing, No Life D. Laugh off the Pains

Larry is an inventor. His job is to invent things. He works when he’s got an idea. His workshop is in his house, so he can work wherever he wants to. Sometimes he works seven days a week; sometimes he doesn’t work for days. Larry usually gets up at about five o’clock. He makes some tea, and starts work at six. He drinks tea all day, but he doesn’t eat anything until the evening. First, Larry cleans the workshop and turns on the answering machine for the phone because he can’t talk to people when he’s working. Then he starts to work. He usually has a rest after two or three hours, but he doesn’t leave the workshop. He does something different to help himself relax. Sometimes he does some exercises and at other times, he listens to music. He usually stops work at about nine o’clock in the evening. He thinks about his work most of the time, even when he’s out. He’s interested in what’s around him and he likes looking for new ideas and new problems to solve.

五、One Possible Version:
The Spring Festival is the most important traditional festival of China. Our class holds a discussion about“Setting off firecrackers Should Be banned or Not”.
Some of us think setting firecrackers should be banned because it has several bad effects. First, many great fires are caused by it. Second, it also results in terrible air pollution and waste pollution. The terrible noise of firecrackers affects people’s rest and feelings.
However, some say that setting off firecrackers is a Chinese custom and it can add great pleasure and joy to the air of the festival and activities. So we should keep up this custom, for it’s one of the most important characteristics of the festival. As long as the government strengthens the management of it, the problems can be solved.

A
Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother of Britain, died on March 30, 2002, just a little over four months short of her 102nd birthday.
Lady Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon was born in 1900, when Queen Victoria was still living. Her family was from the Scottish aristocracy(贵族). In 1923 Elizabeth married Berite (Albert), the shy and awkward son of George V. At first, she had turned him down, unsure whether she wanted to marry into the duties of the Royal Family.
Her first daughter, born in 1926, was also named Elizabeth. A second daughter, Margaret, was born four years later.
In 1936, George V died, and his eldest son became King Edward VIII. However, Edward gave up the throne soon afterwards. Brtie ascended the throne(登基) as George VI, and was crowned with Elizabeth at his side the following year.
During World War II, which lasted from 1939 to 1945, the Queen refused to leave England. She, the King, and the young princesses stayed in London to share the danger with other Londoners, instead of spending the war years safely in Canada. This earned her respect and admiration.
George VI died of lung cancer in 1952, and their first daughter ascended the throne as Elizabeth II. The senior Elizabeth took the title Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. Later she said she was happy to be known simply as “the Queen Mum”.
Her favorite grandson, Prince Charles, called her “the most wonderful example of fun”. She enjoyed gin as well as champagne, planned official engagements around the house-racing calendar and expressed an ambition to become Britain’s oldest woman.
56. How old was “Queen Mum” when she died?
A. 101. B. 102. C. 103 D..104
57. Who was the oldest one of the four?
A. Edward VIII. B. Queen Elizabeth II.
C. Queen Victoria. D. Queen Mum.
58. How old is Queen Mum’s second daughter now?
A. 70. B.76. C. 80. D. 86
59. Which of the following is true?
A. Queen Elizabeth II has been dead for quite a long time.
B. “Queen Mum” set a living record in England.
C. “Queen Mum” was a woman with great courage in face of danger.
D. “Queen Mum” became the Queen after her husband died.
60. Which is the correct order of the following?
a. Albert’s senior daughter ascended the throne as Elizabeth II.
b. Albert became the King of Britain after King Edward VIII.
c. Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon gave birth to her first daughter in 1926.
d. Queen Mum and her family stayed in London to share the danger with other Londoners.
e. Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon married Albert.
A. b, e, c, d, a B. e, c, b, d, a C. e, b, c, d, a D. b, a, c, d, e

Imagine learning algebra(几何) not in a year, but in a week. How about developing complex computer programs used by millions of people worldwide—at age 14, or becoming a grandmaster of chess, knocking out the best minds in the world, even though you aren’t old enough to drive a car yet? These are just a few real examples of teenage(十几岁）geniuses. While it might sound cool to be a Harvard University student at the age of 13, there are definite(确定的) down sides to having a mind that’s way ahead of your body. It’s hard to have friends your own age when you are working in a research lab while other kids your age are in Middle School. And with so much responsibility, it’s difficult to enjoy a “normal” youth of fun and games.
But what makes a genius? Are some people just born that way? In his book, Genius Explained, Michael Howe looks at children geniuses like Mozart and Einstein for clues. His conclusion: “Genius” is defined(界定) by achievement, not by some special secret skills. That means that although geniuses do have great natural skills, it’s what they do with it that matters most. Many geniuses are failures at school, such as the great Indian mathematician Ramanujan, who was unable to pass his school examinations in India, only later to be accepted at Cambridge University in England and solve some of the world’s great math problems.
61. How can one be a genius?
A. One can only be born as a genius. B. One may not be good at school.
C. One can never expect to be a genius. D. Genius or not just depends.
62. What’s the trouble the young geniuses face?
A. They are too young to be their partners’ friends.
B. They will not be normal.
C. They have to solve too many academic problems.
D. They have to work everything out by themselves.
63. Which of the following is UNTRUE?
A. Ramanujan did not stand out in his homeland at all.
B. Mozart and Einstein shared a lot in genius.
C. Michael Howe has studied a lot of geniuses.
D. Some geniuses have achieved a lot, while others, not.

English as a world language is now becoming more and more popular than ever before and people all over the world are now directly or indirectly concerned about it, especially the English testing systems and the recent reformation of them.
For American students, tests like the SAT, ACT and Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) mark the path to college and graduate school. But for hundreds of thousands of international students hoping to study in the United States, a major concern is proving their language skills on the Test of English as a Foreign Language, or TOEFL.
Since 1963 the TOEFL has been used by scholarship selection committee of governments, universities, and agencies such as Fulbright, the Agency for International Development, AMIDEST, Latin American Scholarship Program, and others as a standard measure of the English proficiency.
Now, as TOEFL has undergone major changes, some students, particularly Asians, are worried that they will be disadvantaged because schools generally emphasize vocabulary and grammar over speaking.
In recent years, many of the 5,200 English-speaking colleges and universities that use the exam have become concerned that the test fails to identify those students who have mastered only “textbook” English. So after a decade’s research, the Educational Testing Service, which developed the exam, has shifted the test’s focus to how well students read, write and speak in combination. Students may be asked to listen to a recording and read a passage, then speak about both. Their responses will be digitally recorded and downloaded for grading.
Perhaps the biggest change is the new speaking component. Previously, the testing company offered a separate speaking test, but few students took it. The new English test is Internet-based.
68. What is TOEFL used for all over the world?
A. It is used as a measure to test people’s language ability.
B. It is used to test the taker’s English ability to study in some English speaking countries. .
C. It is widely used by the governments and agencies to develop themselves.
D. It is taken as the only way to enter USA colleges and universities.
69. What is the greatest change in TOEFL in recent years?
A. The Internet and computers have come into the testing systems.
B. “Textbook” English is untested by TOEFL now.
C. Speaking is now a designed part of the test.
D. Asian students have been disadvantaged.
70. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Students in the USA have to take part in the TOEFL testing.
B. Students in the USA have some choices to prove their language ability.
C. Employees in the governments have to take part in some of the English tests.
D. Students can always get scholarship after taking part in the tests.
71. What is the meaning of the underlined word “component”?
A. company B. ability C. section D. contest

Ever heard the one about the doctor who gave his patient six months to live? When the man couldn’t pay his bill, the doctor gave him another six months.
Go ahead, laugh. It’s strong medicine researchers are learning. Even the physical act is good for you, says William Fry, professor at Stanford University and pioneer in laughter research. It increases blood flow and benefits the muscles, according to Fry.
But the benefits go beyond these. The most astonishing evidence of laughter’s power comes from a 1997 study of 48 heart-attack patients. Half watched comedic shows for 30 minutes every day; the rest served as controls. After a year, ten patients in the control group had suffered repeat heart attacks, compared with only two in the group that watched the shows.
“Laughter is a powerful antidote (矫正) to stress,” says expert Lee Berk. In earlier research, Berk showed that watching a humorous video decreases levels of two key stress hormones(荷尔蒙) that can cause irregular heart rhythms which may lead to heart attacks. Indeed, heart disease patients are often given drugs called beta-blockers specifically to block these hormones. “Laughter can do exactly the same thing,” says Berk. “And it can be a lot more fun.”
Can a good laugh help patients get well? In an experiment at the University of California, called Rx Laughter, scientists plan to test the effect of laughter in children with serious illnesses, including cancer. Early results suggest that humorous videos help kids deal with uncomfortable or painful things.
Justin Ybarra, 13, already knows that. He was in considerable pain when he woke up from his operation—until Bill Marx, son of Harpo Marx and volunteer for Rx Laughter, appeared at his bedside. Marx told jokes and made faces around the hospital room. “Having something to laugh at took my mind off the pain,” says Justin. “When you are laughing, you can’t help but feel better.”
72. Why did the doctor give the patient another six months to live?
A. Because the patient wanted to have the strong medicine.
B. Because the doctor might plan to carry out an experiment.
C. Because the doctor was kind enough to help the sufferers.
D. Because the doctor had no other choice.
73. How was the research of laughing carried out?
A. The doctors let half of the patients watch comedic plays, while the others, not.
B. The doctors suggested watching funny videos 30 minutes a day.
C. The joiners were treated differently with laughing.
D. Half the joiners were controlled not to laugh.
74. Which of the following is TRUE according to the above passage?
A. Heart attacks can always be cured of by laughing.
B. All kinds of hormones can reduce people’s pains.
C. Beta-blockers can cure heart attacks together with laughing.
D. Some hormones are due to the cause of heart attacks.
75. Which might serve as the best title of the passage?
A. Laugh or not Matters Little B. Healing Power of Laughing
C. No Laughing, No Life D. Laugh off the Pains

He drinks tea all day, but he doesn’t eat anything until the evening. First, Larry cleans the workshop and turns on the answering machine for the phone because he can’t talk to people when he’s working. Then he starts to work. He usually has a rest after two or three hours, but he doesn’t leave the workshop. He does something different to help himself relax. Sometimes he does some exercises and at other times, he listens to music. He usually stops work at about nine o’clock in the evening. He thinks about his work most of the time, even when he’s out. He’s interested in what’s around him and he likes looking for new ideas and new problems to solve.

五、One Possible Version:
The Spring Festival is the most important traditional festival of China. Our class holds a discussion about“Setting off firecrackers Should Be banned or Not”.
Some of us think setting firecrackers should be banned because it has several bad effects. First, many great fires are caused by it. Second, it also results in terrible air pollution and waste pollution. The terrible noise of firecrackers affects people’s rest and feelings.
However, some say that setting off firecrackers is a Chinese custom and it can add great pleasure and joy to the air of the festival and activities. So we should keep up this custom, for it’s one of the most important characteristics of the festival. As long as the government strengthens the management of it, the problems can be solved.
